Personally I think this was done intentionally. Hermione's actions are totally questionable here. There are plenty of things that exist that are immoral but legal and it seems like this falls into that gray area.

Hermione has always followed the rules, obeyed the law, done things by the book. But when it comes down to the safety and livelihood of the people she cares about, she's willing to bend or break the rules. Think about it - she LEFT SCHOOL willingly - to help Harry, her best friend. The Hermione we know in the first few books would never sacrifice her education, but towards the end of the series she feels it becomes necessary for the greater good.

Hermione is fighting a bigger cause here and she's having to make some very difficult choices. She could go with the ethical choice, but know that her parents would likely be tortured and killed by Death Eaters. I feel like it's safe to assume that she knows them well enough that even though they haven't expressly chosen to have her remove herself from their memories, she knows they would support it.

This all contributes to Hermione's growth and evolution as a character because she is finally learning that the world doesn't exist in black and white, but shades of gray. Especially in times of war, there will be very difficult questions with no neat, clean outcome.

I'm not talking about traditional family roles, I'm talking more about the supremacy aspect. Lucius is definitely in favor of the pure-blood ideals, and views any wizard with muggle lineage to be inferior. That is, in itself, dysfunctional. And to then teach your child that it's okay to bully and demean others based on that, I wouldn't call that a healthy attitude.

A bit, but it's all subtle. And the bulk of it comes from the later books. You see a bit of the family dynamic in interactions with Draco and his father in the shops at Diagon Alley. Whole family interactions don't really show up until the World Cup and even then Mom kind of keeps quiet. However you really see her character come out in the later books, particularly when she begs Snape to make the Unbreakable promise to protect Draco.

YES. I don't get the Snape obsession. Like yes he had unconditional love for Lily to the point where he protected her son (fathered by his school bully) after her death and beyond - but that doesn't exactly scream "romantic" to me. It was an unrequited and honestly kind of creepy and weird relationship.

It's not sweet that Snape still loved Lily after all those years, it's unsettling.

I use mine to organize myself. I often use reminders on my phone, but that doesn't guarantee they'll get done. I like to make to-do lists and month-at-a-glance calendars in mine. I'll also add stuff like friends address changes, favorite quotes, movies I want to see, songs I'm really into, etc.

By the end of the series you see more of this in the books too. Draco is the product of a dysfunctional family. His father is a bully focused on "old-world" values who refuses to accept progress. His mother seems at best ambivalent towards that, but her only care is her family - namely Draco. So he's got a mother who loves him unconditionally and would do anything for him, and a father who wants him to be strong and resilient but encourages that in a brusque manner. He's torn between this compassion his mother shows him and the strength his father wants from him. Once he becomes an adult he freezes when he has to do something on his own and Snape rescues him because of a promise to his mother. Draco is a bully as a product of not being in control of his own life, so he makes himself feel better but putting others down.

I like to think that after the series, Draco probably got a little better and wasn't as much of a douche.
